Want to buy a new car in 2025?
It's time to put the kettle on, brew a tea, sit down and get reading - this is our full guide to all the best new cars coming in 2025 and beyond.
This list covers a huge list of models – everything from electric cars to family cars, small, mid-sized and large SUVs, hot hatches, sports cars, luxury cars and pick-up trucks.
Alfa Romeo Giulia
Type: saloon | On sale: TBC | Starting price: £TBC
We adore the current Alfa Romeo Giulia (pictured above), but it hasn't exactly been a sales hit for the long-beleaguered Italian brand. It's set to be replaced with an all-new model in 2025 which Alfa Romeo will be pinning its future on, and for a while, it looked like that future involved electric cars only.
However, with many manufacturers rowing back ambitious combustion phase-out plans, and the Giulia's new Stellantis STLA Large platform capable of taking hybrid petrol engines, we might get the best of both worlds with this car. And on the EV front, there'll be a monstrous 1,000PS Giulia Quadrifoglio.

Audi A6 e-tron
Type: hatchback and estate | On sale: February 2025 | Starting price: from £61,670
We weren't sure Audi would ever produce an EV quite as handsome as the e-tron GT, and but with this one, the German manufacturer isn't far off. The Audi A6 e-tron is a fabulous-looking electric car and one that's potentially very practical. - as well as a Sportback, there's an 'Avant' estate version. With the capability of travelling up to 463 according to official figures (probably a little under 400 in reality), it's one of the longest-range electric cars money can buy.
BMW Neue Klasse saloon
Type: saloon | On sale: TBC | Starting price: TBC
Aside from the i3, BMW's all-electric journey has focused on creating battery-powered versions of its existing petrol and diesel-powered cars, giving rise to EVs like the BMW i4 and BMW i5. They're great cars, but a bespoke electric architecture gives myriad benefits, and the German manufacturer will finally be tapping into that via its Neue Klasse vehicles. These will begin arriving in 2025, kicking off with a car based on the Vision Neue Klasse saloon concept (pictured above).
BMW M5 Touring
Type: performance estate | On sale: now | Starting price: £112,500
We already rate the new BMW M5 Competition saloon highly, which makes the prospect of an all-new BMW M5 Competition Touring estate all the more tantalising. Set to use the same 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid engine, its abilities will be enhanced yet further by xDrive all-wheel drive. This will make it a formidable alternative to the acclaimed new Audi RS6 Avant. It costs £112,500, which sounds like a lot, but that's only a very small premium over the saloon. It went on sale in late 2024 and the first UK cars will land in early 2025.
Cadillac Lyric
Type: luxury SUV | On sale: 2025 | Starting price: £70,000+ (est)
It's been a long time since you've been able to buy a Cadillac in the UK without going through the complicated, expensive process of importing one yourself. 2025 will feature the brand's return to the UK, but since it never really made a mark the last time it had a crack at winning over British buyers, are things going to be any different for the latest attempt? The new Cadillac Lyric, the first of its cars to arrive here, certainly has presence. Things are equally imposing inside, with the use of a 33-inch infotainment system. No, that's not a typo!
Citroen C3 Aircross
Type: small seven-seater SUV | On sale: early 2025 | Starting price: from £23,000 (est)
The new Citroen C3 Aircross is a surprise new model that, while remaining compact, will offer seating for up to seven people across three rows of seats. The decision to make the new Citroen C3 Aircross a seven-seater helps set it apart from the stylish new Citroen C3 and e-C3, which have gained an SUV-style makeover of their own. With appealingly rugged styling and a choice of petrol and electric powertrains, we're expecting it to be one of our favourite cars of 2025.
Dacia Bigster
Type: SUV | On sale: 2025 | Starting price: from £30,000 (est)
The Dacia Bigster is big by name and, well, big by nature – at 4.6m long it's the biggest car Dacia makes. It won’t cost a fortune though, with Dacia targeting an entry price of under £30,000. That’ll buy you an SUV with chunky good looks and an interior that’ll have loads of space and could be offered with seven seats. Dacia has also indicated that the car will be offered as a plug-in hybrid that’ll have a 30-mile electric range that could save you a fortune if you have a charger at home and do lots of short trips.
Fiat Grande Panda
Type: city car | On sale: early 2025 | Starting price: from £20,000 (est)
The loveable city car will be making a return for 2025 but with a slightly new name - welcome, everyone, to the Fiat Grande Panda. It's based on the same Stellantis Smart Car architecture (not to be confused with a certain other Smart car) as the Citroen C3, Citroen C3 Aircross, Vauxhall Frontera and in time many other models across the group's myriad brands, but the Fiat looks like it'll do a great job of carving out its own identity. For one thing, it looks fantastic, while the interior has some interesting material choices including bamboo.
Genesis GV60 Magma
Type: performance EV | On sale: 2025 | Starting price: from £100,000
Hyundai's luxury division hasn't exactly set the sales charts alight since coming to the UK, and we're not sure a £100,000 version of the Genesis GV60 will move the needle that much. That's not to say we aren't itching to drive the Genesis GV60 Magma, though. It's likely to use the 650PS powertrain from the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, but package it in a much plusher setting to help justify the huge uplift in cost.
Honda Prelude
Type: coupe | On sale: 2026 | Starting price: TBC
There's a growing trend of manufacturers bringing back names from their back catalogues for very different vehicles from the ones they once adorned. Just look at the Ford Capri, which has returned as an electric 'coupe' SUV, something the Vauxhall Manta is also set to do. Imagine our delight, then, when this trend was bucked by the Honda Prelude, which remains - just like its predecessors - a proper two-door coupe.
The catch with this one is that while we'll hopefully see the production version in 2025, it won't go on sale until 2026. It should be worth the wait, though. Honda has a track record of making near-production-ready concepts, so we're hoping the showroom version shouldn't change much from the gorgeous car pictured above.
Hyundai Ioniq 9
Type: large SUV | On sale: mid-2025 | Starting price: £60,000+ (est)
Yet another sign that Hyundai's bargain basement history is long behind it will arrive in 2025. The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is best thought of as the brand's version of the Kia EV9, but it'll go one better than the vehicle made by the Hyundai Group subsidiary with a massive 110kWh battery pack. And so, even though it'll be a weighty thing, all versions should have range figures comfortably over the 300-mile mark. It'll be expensive, with a starting price north of £60,000.
Jaguar GT EV
Type: saloon | On sale: 2026 | Starting price: £120,000
As various manufacturers backpedal on bold EV-only targets, Jaguar is sticking to its guns. In fact, the old internal combustion range has already been cleared out ahead of an ambitious relaunch as a maker of luxury electric cars, and in 2025 we'll see the first vehicle for the British brand's new era. It'll be a production version of the wild Jaguar Type 00 concept, and while it'll inevitably be toned down a fair bit, it'll need to remain attention-grabbing if Jaguar is to cut through the noise.
Jeep Recon
Type: SUV | On sale: 2025 | Starting price: TBC
The arrival of the Jeep Avenger means the American brand famed for its chunky off-roaders has already entered the electric age. The thing is, though, the Avenger isn't exactly cut out for the really rough stuff. That makes the Jeep Recon EV especially important - it should be able to keep up with the Jeep Wrangler over seriously arduous terrain while being far nicer to drive on the road due to the use of the Stellantis STLA Large car platform. That architecture can also take hybrid petrol engines, so the Recon may not stay exclusively electric.
Mercedes-Benz CLE 63
Type: performance coupe | On sale: 2025 | Starting price: from £90,000 (est)
Off the back of the disappointment of the inline-four hybrid-powered Mercedes-AMG C63 E Performance, it looks as though there'll be a return to form for Mercedes' in-house performance experts. Or at least, it sounds that way, with Nurburgring testing footage of the car accompanied by a distinct V8 soundtrack. Expect it to have the same widebody stance as the V6-powered AMG CLE 53 (pictured) but with a lot more power, and, of course, a great noise coming from its exhaust pipes.
MINI Cooper Convertible
Type: convertible | On sale: 2024 | Starting price: £26,200
The MINI Convertible is one of the few options left in the realm of cheap(ish) convertibles, so it's great to see that it'll be sticking around for the long haul. An all-new MINI Cooper Convertible went on sale in late 2024 and will be landing in the UK in early 2025, and this time, you'll be able to have it either with a petrol engine or with an electric powertrain. Although there was a plug-in version of the last MINI Convertible, it was a limited-run affair.
MINI John Cooper Works
Type: hatchback | On sale: late 2024 | Starting price: from £31,200
It'll be yet another busy year for the MINI brand. Along with the aforementioned MINI Convertible, there'll also be an updated Mini John Cooper Works. And a new John Cooper Works Electric. And a Convertible John Cooper Works. And a MINI Aceman John Cooper Works. Oh, and there's the existing MINI Countryman John Cooper Works remaining alongside all of those. In other words, if you want a hot MINI, you'll be spoilt for choice. The newcomers all went on sale in late 2024 and will arrive in the UK in early 2025.
Nissan Leaf
Type: small electric SUV | On sale: late 2025 | Starting price: TBC
The Nissan Leaf was something of a game-changer when it was first launched in 2010, so it's a bit of a shame to see that it'll be joining the electric SUV masses when the third-generation version arrives in 2025. Hopefully, it'll do enough to stand out from the crowd while remaining as good value as the existing car.
Polestar 5
Type: electric saloon | On sale: late 2025 | Starting price: TBC
884PS is quite a headline figure for the inbound Polestar 5. Yes, you can now get a Tesla Model S with even more than that, but the Polestar will undoubtedly be better built. It also looks fantastic, an will be chock full of tech. And don't worry, if you don't need the best part of 900PS (and who does, frankly), there will be a lower-powered single-motor version as well.
We're less sure about the lack of rear windscreen, though. As with the Polestar 4, looking out the back involves a rear-view 'mirror' that's connected to a camera.
Porsche Cayman/Boxster EVs
Type: electric sports car | On sale: 2025 | Starting price: TBC
The Porsche 718 Cayman (pictured) and 718 Boxster sports cars are clinging on in the UK despite being discontinued elsewhere in Europe. They're not long for this world, though, with Porsche plotting all-electric replacements which we should see for the first time in 2025. Electric cars are always heavier than their combustion equivalents, which makes building a sports car powered by batteries and a motor or two very difficult, but if anyone can do it, it's Porsche.
Porsche Taycan
Type: luxury electric car | On sale: now | Starting price: £86,500
The new Porsche Taycan was enhanced for 2024 with a headline-grabbing boost to its electric range of up to 35%. Owners will be able to travel for much longer between charges and be more entertained along the way courtesy of new interior tech that includes a clever video streaming feature for passengers.
The driver will also enjoy much-reduced acceleration times across the range, with the fastest new Porsche Taycan now offering 0-62mph performance in just 2.4 seconds. The Porsche Taycan luxury electric car continues to be offered in three distinct styles – Sport Saloon, Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo – with a choice of different power outputs, battery sizes and drive types.
New versions are continuing to roll out, and the first deliveries of the updated Taycan GTS will commence in early 2025.
Range Rover Electric
Type: luxury SUV | On sale: 2025 | Starting price: from £125,000 (est)
The new Range Rover Electric is a pure EV version of the world-famous luxury car. Set to offer a range of more than 300 miles plus ultra-fast charging courtesy of its high-tech 800V architecture, the new Range Rover Electric is one of the most hotly anticipated new SUVs of 2025. It will offer staggering refinement and plentiful performance, while the British firm also promises peerless off-road ability (and a huge 850mm wading depth). It won’t come cheap, with prices likely to start from around £125,000, but it will be a world-class machine that aims to set new standards. If you're keen to be among the first to own one, the waiting list is now open.
Renault Twingo
Type: small electric car | On sale: 2026 | Starting price: from £17,000
The charming little Renault Twingo is making a comeback – as a super-affordable all-electric car. Sitting below the new electric Renault 5 and Renault 5, the new Renault Twingo will take on other affordable EVs such as the new Dacia Spring and Citroen e-C3. It’s being built on a high-tech new platform and will have a right-sized battery that delivers a range of around 150-200 miles – perfect for the city centre use it’s being designed for. And by optimising the design and battery size, prices will be kept affordable. Bosses are talking about a starter price of around £17,000, or from around £85 a month, which really would help open up electric cars to an entirely new audience. Best of all, it’s set to have a retro appearance that harks back to the beloved 1990s original – both outside and in.
Renault 4
Type: small electric SUV | On sale: mid-2025 | Starting price: from £30,000 (est)
Following hot on the heels of the Renault 5, the Renault 4 is nearly here to reimagine the same ingredients in a more practical package. It's a little longer, taller and wider than the 5, but should remain very affordable, with a starting price of around £50,000. You can pair it with either a 40kWh or a 52kWh pack, the latter giving a range of up to 250 miles.
Skoda Enyaq facelift
Type: electric SUV | On sale: early 2025 | Starting price: from £38,000 (est)
Can it really be facelift time for the Skoda Enyaq already? It barely feels like yesterday that the Czech manufacturer pulled the covers off its electric SUV, which shares much in common with the Volkswagen ID.4, yet is superior in pretty much every area. And now, it's better than ever, with an updated model revealed in early 2025 with new infotainment and a much sharper look (which also improves aero and thus the range) among the changes.
Skoda Kodiaq vRS
Type: large SUV | On sale: January 2025 | Starting price: £52,595
The second-generation Skoda Kodiaq is a car that's more about practicality than getting pulses racing, unless you're talking about the inbound Skoda Kodiaq vRS. First revealed in 2024, it'll go on sale in January 2025, and like the facelifted version of the previous-generation Kodiaq vRS, it uses a petrol engine shared with the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the Skoda Octavia vRS. It's a great power unit, but in some ways, it is a shame the old diesel Kodiaq vRS is no longer a thing. You can still spec the new vRS with seven seats, though.
Suzuki e Vitara
Type: small electric SUV | On sale: mid-2025 | Starting price: TBC
Suzuki has often felt behind the curve. Its first hybrid wasn't released all that long ago, and it's waited until 2025 to launch its debut all-electric car. It's the Suzuki E-Vitara, which despite what the name might imply is unrelated to the existing Vitara. To create it, the manufacturer teamed up with fellow Japanese firm Toyota. It'll be available with two battery options, although even the larger one gets a fairly underwhelming expected range of about 250 miles. Here's hoping the little Suzuki will have other strengths.
Volkswagen ID.2
Type: electric city car | On sale: mid 2025 | Starting price: from £20,000 (est)
Whip out the long lens and you’ll just about see the Volkswagen ID.2 sauntering over the horizon – it’s a while away, but this Peugeot e-208 rival is still well worth talking about. The VW Group being the well-oiled machine it is, we already have a concept previewing how the car will look (good) and have an idea of how much it will cost (about £20,000). That sounds cheap you say? It does, doesn’t it. That price tag’s made possible by a tiny 30kWh battery that’ll be good for no more than 120 miles between charges.
Volkswagen ID. GTI
Type: electric hot hatch | On sale: 2026 | Starting price: from £35,000 (est)
The new Volkswagen ID. GTI Concept is a hotly-anticipated new sporty electric car from the company that invented the hot hatch. Derived from the well-received 2025 Volkswagen ID.2all concept, the new ID. GTI will be VW’s first electric GTI and a car enthusiasts are already looking forward to driving. It will be a potent new alternative to a Tesla Model 3 and also take the fight to the potent new Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. It’s set to be surprisingly affordable too, with Volkswagen bosses hinting at prices that could start from £30,000. Will it mark a rebirth for the people’s sports car? Here’s hoping.
Volkswagen Tayron
Type: SUV | On sale: Now | Starting price: from £39,580
The Volkswagen Tayron is best thought of as VW's version of the Skoda Kodiaq. That used to be the job of the Tiguan Allspace, which the Tayron replaces, but it was never a like-for-like equivalent. The Tayron, on the other hand, is just as practical as the Kodiaq, with a whopping 885 litres of boot space in some versions. Yes, it's a bit more expensive than the Skoda, but it's arguably better looking and comes with more badge kudos. It went on sale in early 2025.
Volvo XC90 facelift
Type: luxury SUV | On sale: now | Starting price: £63,790
The arrival of the new Volvo EX90 made it seem like the Volvo XC90, its predecessor, was imminently for the chop. Happily, in another example of manufacturers stalling on combustion phase-out plans, Volvo has instead revealed an overhauled version, keeping it in the range for the foreseeable future. This is great news, as the outgoing car is already one of the best SUVs out there. The new one features a noticeably smarter look and a rejigged interior. Also, it's over £30,000 cheaper than the EX90.
